Whenever I see something like this I realize what a miserable life this person must lead to get so upset over something as inconsequential as a perceived insult on the road. I would never run him over as his life is already so awful that letting him live is punishment enough.

Because the answer to all automotive questions is Miata. Which is very unfair.

BTW, there's an interesting thread on this very topic on the Tesla forums:

I absolutely agree that Musk is a very, very smart man. And for whatever reason he, like Jobs, keeps an awful lot close to the vest. That being said it is the revelations he makes that are the most disconcerting.

1. Um, no he has not. In the most recent filing (May 15th of this year) Tesla claims a net profit of $11 million - which is wonderful and certainly better than the nearly $800 million Tesla has lost over the past three years (and the $11 million is unaudited, by the way).

Thanks for the thoughtful response :) Not to quibble, but I'd like to clarify a few things:

Now a Tesla as a second car (or third or fourth, or in my case, eighth)I can understand :)

I have no problem with the use of the phrase when you experience it from your own actions (as per your example). I, too, have pushed the envelope while on 'E'. That can be fun and scary at the same time :)

Mrs. Musk, please defending your husband. But thanks for supplying all your insightful estimations and true facts. You are really furthering the conversation. I shall try to learn all the debating skills you have kindly offered in your post.

1. Elon stretches the truth all the time, and I've never heard him say "I'm only joking". For example, at this same event when asked about the cost and upkeep of these stations he said "We'll just have to be less profitable" - considering he's not profitable now that's an interesting perspective. If you look at…

Elon Musk is this generations PT Barnum. I expected more critical thinking in the posts here, but as this seems to haver turned into a electric love fest.... Anyway, here's some of what's wrong with this thing:

My first car was this one:

Way too many vans and wagons here. The best 4 door sedan?

I suggested that in order to make the joke actually work he needed to swap in an S54. That would make for an interesting car!

A friend of mine lost the "I" on his beater Impala and insisted that he now had a BMW. An "M"pala.

I'm impressed it held that corner at 25-ish. Not THAT'S 'performance' (for 1965 at least).

But the tire is the best (and juiciest) part!

MMMM, doughnut!

Jeez, the things you do for love..... BTW her name was 'Mandy', but as you get older the memories get fuzzier. :)

(Putting on my bad golf hat, white shoes, and belting my pants at chest height) You young punks don't know a thing about Rock and Roll! (shaking fist in Spin's direction) Any band that references Connie Hamzy - 'Sweet, sweet Connie' - deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Maybe not for their music, but…
